Play the 2014 Pro Football Contest with a chance for weekly prizes and Hawaii trip

The 2014 NFL season is almost upon us — but before the games begin Thursday night, you're invited to sign up to play our 2014 Pro Football Contest.

It's almost as easy as watching the pros toss touchdown passes — just pick the winners of each week's NFL games. There's also a survivor contest in which you choose the one team that you're certain will win each week. But be careful, you can't choose the same team twice.

How does the game work? You pick who you think is going to win each game of the season.

When is the deadline to enter my picks? You can pick the winner up to 5 minutes before the game is scheduled to start.

What if I don't pick a winner for a game? If you don't pick, the computer will select the most picked teams for you.
